Do they have a darker green skin or a light green skin? Dark green would be "hass" or California avocados. Light green would be Florida avocados. You should,be fine regardless of which kind you use to lig as long as you log by weight.

You stressed your body out and put on water weight.

See if you can find a potassium vitamin pill someone has added and put in the appropriate amount you want to add.

Every single apple you eat will have a slightly different nutrition profile. Every single steak you eat will have a different nutritional profile. Every single watermelon you eat will have a somewhat different nutritional profile. The listing's are just generalizations. Many of the regulars on here make it out as an exact…

Totally agree. I'm in better shape at 39 than I was at 21. Blaming metabolism is unhelpful, honestly. If you don't feel like you can change it, you won't.

Remember that there is no "failing" because this is a lifelong endeavor. You can't fail because there is no endpoint. Keep working at it.

"Easy" 5 km run. 😂 Sorry, can't help myself. Pretty sure I'd die trying to run 5k. That being said, I think you're absolutely right.

There are times in our lives where weight loss should not be the priority. Perhaps this is one of those times.

🍿let me grab my popcorn first. Yes, of course you can. Do you want to? That's up to you!

You can really only do one or the other at your weight (which is already lean). You can gain muscle or lose fat. If you want to gain muscle, increase your calories and lift weights. If you want to lose fat, decrease calories. Pick the one you want most. If it's gaining muscle, then you can lose the fat AFTER you gain the…

1 inch off your waist and dropping pants sizes is amazing! So proud of you.

I wouldn't force myself to eat more. If you're feeling good, it's fine. You don't really "need" to eat enough to support all the fat you have, so as long as you're eating enough to support your body's important processes (and it sounds like you are) you should be fine. Just pay attention to how you feel.

Perfect!

This post is 14 years old. It's unlikely that any of the commenter's are still on MFP. And while you are correct about only drinking beer, I think you misunderstood what the original poster was saying.

You could reasonably expect to lose 2 to 4 pounds over the next two weeks. Healthy entirely depends on what you consider healthy, so I can't really speak to that. Name a food, someone will call it healthy and someone else will say it'll kill you, so it's really a moot question. Filling... I'd focus on protein. But…

Most programs, MFP included, will expect you to simply avoid any meals that contain eggs or use an egg replacement. Most are not capable of modifying for an allergy for you, as they are meant to be used by the general population.

You're already at the low end of normal BMI, so yes, it will feel extremely difficult. I agree with Tom that if you want to build muscle you're going to have to up your calories and focus on weight training first. But, your body, your choice, do as you see fit.

Gaining weight doesn't necessarily mean you gained muscle. How long did it take you to gain the weight? Muscle takes quite a while to gain.

I would actually argue that marriage causes people to become their worst self. They lose the anxiety that their significant other will leave, and then they let their freak flag fly. For example, it's common for abusive individuals to rush you into into marriage, because then they can begin truly abusing you without the…

It's your body. That's the beautiful part. You can do what you want with it. So just do what you like, see if it gets you results you are happy with.

It could be water weight from increasing your calories suddenly. Try one more week and see if it has settled or if you've gone up more. If you go up more this coming week, try lowering your calories by maybe 250.

I would say follow your doctors advice as best you can. He is the one who will be performing surgery on you, so he's really the one you need to be listening to in order for him to do his job as best he can.

Very well said! Of course using weight loss meds is not cheating or wrong or anything else. Do what's best for you, but I also agree that compound pharmacies are not ideal. I also understand that many people don't have the luxury of getting their meds through an fda regulated source.

Are you counting caliries? Eating "healthier" is great, but doesn't really lead to weight loss directly. Too much of a good thing is still too much.

You're already at the low end of normal weight for your height, so any loss will likely be slow and a challenge. MFP will give you an estimated calorie goal. Look at your diary section, go into settings, make sure you have all your stats set correctly and that you have it set for .25 pounds per week. At your size I REALLY…

This generally comes back to sodium vs. salt. Sodium only makes up a fraction of salt (the rest is chloride). If the salt amounts were added instead of sodium, the amounts would seem much higher than they actually are. This could be the difference you are seeing.

While this can be true in ultra processed products, it's not generally true for dairy products such as milk or cheese. Because they don't have sugar added (even the low fat ones), they have the same amount of sugar. That being said, the good thing about the fat is that it slows the absorption of the sugar into your system.

I know, I was saying that because there are people out there who might, and they may have been reading. Laxatives are fine when needed. I wasn't trying to blame or accuse you of anything, promise.

Track religiously. Make it routine. Every time you eat, it gets tracked. Find low calorie foods you can eat more of (fruits/veggies). Get plenty of protein in. That's my suggestion. It can be hard, for sure.

Maybe find a different coach? Or try it on your own? I wouldn't stick with a coach who wasn't listening to me. That's a big part of coaching, working WITH your client.
